About Filippo: Filippo, known as ‘Philip’ to his peers and staff, is the easy going, jokester of the group who enjoys band and school. When the time came for Torch Club to pick a president, Filippo was eager to step up and lead the teens in a canned food drive during the holidays. His favorite subject is math and he takes great pride in his achievements. He also participated in HJM Middle School track team this year running the 800-meter event. As a rising 9th grader we are looking forward to Filippo leading the teens in many more community service and fundraising events. Filippo is a great example to his fellow members.
